Removing Let-Off Buttons

[Roger Jolly]

Hi Avery,
              Remove the let off rail, scrub them with warm water, just get
every thing soaked.  Leave for 20min,re scrub and soak, the old  felt will
fall off, reglue on a set of thick let off button felts.
This method will also clean off the traces of old glue for a better joint.

If you want to change the wooden button, grip the old button with a pair of
regulating pliers, use your unversal button regulation blade in a
portable/reversable drill. 

See I'm lazy too.
